Negroes and Latinos retain leadership in the use of mobile communications
A May study of the US mobile market in the framework of the Pew Internet & American Life project confirmed the trend that blacks and Latinos (Americans of Spanish origin) use mobile communication much more actively than the white population of the United States.

According to analysts, the active use of mobile devices is inherent in the poorer segments of the population.
The activity of using mobile services is a bit different. Here, “Latinos” are leaders in all categories: mobile Internet, SMS, games, music, instant messages, social sites, videos and UGC.

If we include not only mobile phones, but also laptops in the big picture, then the picture remains practically unchanged: the white population is behind again. Unless they have a strange tendency to buy a laptop in the absence of a mobile phone (this situation is already among 22% of respondents).

Experts at the Pew Internet & American Life Foundation suggest that the technological superiority of blacks and Latinos in mobile communications can be explained by their lower income. Representatives of these population groups do not always have good and high-quality Internet on a home computer, so they close the digital divide with mobile devices.
